Hey this is my first fanfiction so I hope you like it.

All the characters belong to Sarah J. Mass.

Chapter 1

Feyre POV

I rushed to the bathroom.

Rhys was by my side in a heartbeat, holding my hair up while I was throwing up.

When I was done throwing last nights dinner up, Rhys gave me a towel and a glass of water, I thankfully took the water so I could get the taste out of my mouth.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Rhys asked with a worried look on his face.

"No..." I answered.

"Maybe you should see a healer" Rhys suggested.

"I'm fine, Rhys. There's no need to worry I already feel much better"

"But still... won't you do it... for me, darling?" He holded me closer and placed a kiss on my forehead.

I thought about it and I could see his point about going to a healer. I also threw up yesterday morning and I didn't know why.

"Fine, I'll do it later today, okay?"

"Okay, you can tell me what she said when when we see each other later"

"Of course I will" I answered. I wasn't gonna keep it a secret. Rhys was probably more worried then I was.

I had to go to the healer alone, because Rhys had some business at the Illyrian camps with Cassian.

"What can I do for you today, high lady?" Madja asked.

"I have been throwing up lately and I want to know if there's something wrong" I said.

"Throwing up you say?"

"Yes"

"Is it mostly in the mornings?" She asked.

"Yes it is actually. Do you know why?"

"You might be pregnant"

It took some time before the word sunk in.

"PREGNANT! REALLY?" I felt exited by the thought.

"Might be I said. I will check right away, high lady"

"Oh, of course"

"Now if you would please come to this room and I'll check"

"Right. Sure" I muttered. What if I was pregnant? Would Rhys be happy?

What am I talking about of course he would be happy. More than happy. And so would I, but I couldn't get to excited, because what if I wasn't?

Rhys had felt my excitement down the bond.

_**What happened? Why are you so excited?**_

**Nothing **i answered. I didn't wanna get his hopes up.

**_Are you sure?_**

**_Yes, I'm sure Rhys and if anything does happen I'll tell you later I promise._**

**_Okay, I love you, Feyre darling_**

**_I love you too, Rhys_**

Rhys POV

I was talking to Cassian, but my mind was wondering about what had made Feyre so excited? I wanted to know.

"RHYS?"

Cassian had noticed that I wasn't listening anymore.

"Are you paying attention?"

"Yes... I am" I muttered.

"Are you sure?" He said sceptically. He had probably figured out what I was thinking abot or should I say who I was thinking about.

"Is Feyre alright?" He asked. Worry shining in his eyes for his high lady.

"Don't worry she's..." I didn't finish the sentence. What if she wasn't alright?

She was at the healers. She had felt excited and she seemed fine when I talked to her.

I hoped Madja could help us with why she's throwing up in the mornings.

"Rhys?"

"Probably fine" I mumbled.

"What do you mean probably fine?" Cassian asked.

"She was throwing up this morning".

I explained what happened this morning and that she was going to a healer today.

I didn't mention that she also did it yesterday. I had left before Feyre had awakened so I wasn't there when it happened, but when I got back I could smell it, though it was distant. I wanted to ask her about it, but I didn't wanna pry.

"I see so that's why your so on edge. Don't worry Feyre can handle anything that comes her way. She's strong" Cassian said trying to comfort me, but he was right, Feyre could handle anything, because she is high lady of the night court.

My salvation.

My darling.

My mate.

	2. Chapter2

Chapter 2

Feyre POV

I still couldn't believe what Madja told me. I'm pregnant! I'm so happy!

I hope I'm gonna be a good mother. What if I was an awful mother?

No, Feyre don't think like that, it's gonna be alright. At least I knew Rhys was going to be an amazing father.

As I started walking home to the town house I was wondering how Rhys would react, but most importantly how should I tell him.

Maybe I should get some advice from Mor or Elain.

When I walked through the door to the town house I immediately got a big hug from Elain.

"Congratulations, Feyre!"

"How do you know?" I asked.

"I'm a seer remember. I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you... since you already know... how should I tell Rhys?"

Elain thought about for a second.

"Go to your room and wear something beautiful, like a dress. Something he can't resist. I'll handle the rest" that was all she told me before she hurried to the kitchen.

I wasn't sure where this was going, but I did as she said.

After half an hour I had finished dressing up. I was wearing a dress that Rhys' mother had made. It was beautiful.

I went downstairs and into the kitchen. I could smell the food and I realized I was starving.

"What's the plan?" I asked Elain as she was making dinner.

"You and Rhys are going to have a romantic dinner, just the two of you and then you're gonna take him upstairs to the terrace and look at the stars and then you'll tell him".

"And you're sure it's going to work?"

"Of course I have already seen how he'll react and it's adorable".

"Alright let's do it" I said. I was getting kinda nervous, but I was sure that no matter how I told him he would be happy.

Rhys POV

I was finally going home to my mate. I was so tired I just wanted to get a quick meal and get some rest or maybe do something else with my mate before that.

As I winnowed into the town house I realized that my dream about a quick meal was gone.

My beautiful mate was wearing a dress that my mother had made. She took my breath away in a heartbeat.

"You look stunning, Feyre darling" i purred.

She gave me a big smile and... mother save me. I couldn't stop looking at her. Admiring every inch of her.

"Care to join me for dinner?" She asked still smiling. I snapped out of my admiration.

"It would be my pleasure, mate" I answered. I suddenly wasn't tired anymore.

We sat down by the dinner table, which had candles and flowers on it. It was all beautifully done, but Feyre was still the most beautiful fae i had ever seen.

"Is there a special actuations for all this?" I asked.

"You'll see, later" she said grinning.

I gave her a pleading look. I wanted to know.

She chuckled and silently mumbled Illyrian baby.

"Later. Let's eat first" she said.

I let out an overreacting sigh.

"Illyrian baby" she muttered. I chuckled. Fine, later.

We started eating. The food was delicious, but something was weird. When I asked Feyre if she wanted a glass of wine she said that she wasn't gonna drink in a while. I wondered what that was about? She wouldn't usually say no to a glass of wine.

When we were done eating, Feyre took me up to the terrace. The night sky was beautiful and full of stars.

"So... are you going to tell me why we're doing all this?... not that I mind" I said.

"Yes I have something important to tell you..." she started.

I was dying to know what it was that was so important that she couldn't just tell me right away.

She took a deep breath.

"I'm pregnant"

It took some time for me to process.

"PREGNANT!?" I was so excited that I almost shouted it all over Velaris.

Feyre laughed at my reaction.

"Yes, Rhys. We're gonna have a baby"

Hearing her say those word I lifted her up and kissed her deeply.

**_I love you, Feyre. I love you. I love you. I love you._**

**_I love you too, Rhys_**

**_You have made me the happiest male in the entire universe. Nothing could make me happier then this._**

I looked deep into her eyes they were shining and tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks. I kissed the tears away one by one.

I carried her to our bedroom.

"I will always be there for you. I will always protect you. I will always love you". I said and meant every word.

I laid her gently on the bed, wrapped my wings around her and placed my hands on her stomach.

We laid in each other's arms all night and I knew I would never let her go as long as I lived.

	3. Chapter3

Chapter 3

Rhys POV

I woke up before my mate. I just laid there with my arms around her.

I thought about Feyre and the child that she was carrying. How much I would love both of them.

I was deep in thought when I noticed that Feyre was about to wake up.

I started kissing her down her neck.

She opened her eyes and turned to me.

"Good morning, darling" I said and gave her a kiss on the lips.

She was about to say something when she jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.

I rushed after her, ready to hold her hair up.

When she was done I gave her a towel and a glass of water.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yes, it's just benefits of being pregnant" she said and smiled.

I smiled back at her. She knew it would be worth it. The morning sickness. Everything.

When Feyre felt better I heard a growl coming from her stomach.

I moved closer.

"Someone's hungry" I said and kneeled down to kiss her stomach.

I lifted her up and gave her a kiss.

**_What do you want for breakfast, dear? You can have anything you want._**

She thought about it for a second.

**_Then I want pancakes._**

I smiled.

**_You're wish is my command, high lady._**

I carried her down the stairs and when we got to the kitchen the rest of our court were there. Having breakfast.

"Good morning, lovebirds" Cassian said grinning.

Azriel smiled at that.

I put Feyre down, but not without hesitation.

My senses were going wild. Protect. Protect. Protect.

My entire body tensed as Feyre was on her way over to Cass and Azriel.

Feyre turned to me feeling my tension.

**_I'm save, Rhys. Their our family._**

**_I know, but... now that your pregnant..._**

**_I know._**

The others noticed my tension as well.

"What's going on?" Mor asked.

Amren looked up from the book she was reading.

Az and Cassian looked between me and Feyre.

"I don't want to know if it's about what you do in bed" Cassian added.

**_We should tell them, Rhys. Then they'll understand. _**

**_You're right, darling. We should._**

"We have some good news..." Feyre started.

I took a few steps towards her. Hugging her from behind and caressed her stomach.

"Feyre is pregnant" I finished.

Our friends bursted out in excitement.

"OMG! Congratulations" Mor said and sprinted over to hug us.

"Congrats guys" Amren said. Probably the most excitement we'll get out of her before she went back to her book.

"That's great" was all Azriel said, but I knew he was happy for us.

"I'm really happy for you two!" Cassian said. His face full of excitement.

Cass and Az didn't wanna get too close to Feyre. I was thankful at that.

I don't think I could handle another male being near Feyre right now. Not even my brothers. And they knew that.

We spent the rest of the morning just talking about the baby.

We tried coming up with names after we had told them that we were having a boy, at least according to the bone carver.

Me and Feyre had thought a lot about the bone carver. How he had taken the form of our future son.

We let the image of him stay between us.

Feyre POV

After breakfast Mor wanted to take me shopping and since I had the day off I said yes.

Rhys wasn't extremely excited about that idea, but I knew he had work to do, even though he said that he would be more than happy to accompany us.

I insisted that he should do his work first. It was his duty as high lord of the night court.

"What do you think of this one?" Mor asked while holding the cutest little baby outfit.

Mor had dragged me into this baby store first thing when we got outside the town house.

I thought it was a little early to be looking at baby outfits, but Mor had a different opinion.

"It's really cute!" I said and admired the little outfit. It had the night sky full of stars on it. I couldn't resist buying it and I couldn't wait to show it to Rhys.

After me and Mor were done looking at baby clothes we moved on to jewellery, clothing and of course painting supplies.

"I'm hungry, Mor. You wanna go somewhere and get something to eat?" I asked.

"Of course, Feyre. You are eating for two" she said and smiled at me.

We went to a nice little cafe by the Sidra.

"Are you exited for the baby to come?" Mor asked while we were eating.

"Yes I'm very excited and I'm sure Rhys is too"

"He most definitely is. I've never seen him this happy. Not since you mated" she reassured me.

I couldn't stop smiling at the thought of him. Of us having this baby together.

My mind drifted to this morning, when we had told our court the good news.

I was worried about Rhys. He was really tense this morning.

I had felt this tension before, when we first mated and I knew that he would get over it. I just hoped he didn't become too overprotective.

"Feyre?"

I focused on Mor.

"Yes?"

"You know he's going to be a lot more protective of you now that you're pregnant" she said.

"Yes I know. I just hope he doesn't go overboard" I said, but I knew that if I told him to give me some space he'll do it.

"You know he'll bring down the world for you, Feyre"

I knew that very well and I would do the same for him.

End of chapter 3, hope you liked it.


	4. Chapter4

Chapter 4

Feyre POV

Rhys wasn't back yet when Mor and me entered the town house.

We went into the living room where we found Elain, Nesta and Amren sitting on the couch.

"I heard the good news, Feyre. Congratulations" Nesta said. She hadn't been here this morning. Elain must have told her.

"Thanks, Nesta" I replied.

"Wait till you see the cute little outfits we bought today" Mor said.

"I wanna see" Elain said excitedly.

Mor and me laid the bags on the table and took out the outfits.

"OMG I love that one. It's so cute" Elain said and pointed to the one with the stars.

"I know right?" Mor said.

Amren looked up from her book and glanced at the baby outfits.

"The're fine" was all Amren said and went back to her book.

We sat down and talked about the baby for what felt like a couple of hours, when I suddenly felt that Rhys was home.

He came into the living room with Cassian and Azriel.

He didn't look at anybody else but me. Checking to see if I was okay.

When he had made sure I was fine, he stormed towards me and lifted me up from the chair I was sitting in.

We stared deeply into each other's eyes.

**I missed you, darling**

**I missed you too**

**Have you eaten?**

**Of course I have, Rhys**

**That's good to hear**

**Have you been worried about that all day?**

**That and other things**

**Like?**

**If something happened to you**

**I was perfectly save, Rhys**

**I know...still**

We kissed each other deeply.

"Get a room" Cassian said.

I had almost forgotten that they were here.

We broke off the kiss and looked at Cassian and the others and from Rhys' expression he had almost forgotten too.

"Sorry, guys we forgot that you were there" Rhys said honestly, with a smile on his face.

"Yeah we probably have to get use to that" Cassian said an understanding smile on his face.

The entire court smiled at that. Even Amren though she was still reading.

We talked together about everything and anything for the rest of the evening.

I yawned. It had been a long day and i was tired.

Rhys to no ones surprise noticed it.

"Are you tired, sweetie?" Rhys asked even though he knew the answer. He just wanted to make sure.

"Yes a bit" I answered.

"Okay I'll take you to bed" he said and excused us.

We laid in each other's arms all night.

Rhys POV

I woke up when Feyre started to move.

"Sorry did I wake you?" She asked.

"No it's fine, darling" I said.

She went to the bathroom to take a bath.

When she was in the bathtub I went into the bathroom. I wanted to take a bath with my mate. It has been a while since we've done that.

She didn't come with any objections when I got into the bathtub, that is big enough for us both.

I took my wings out and we looked into each other's eyes.

She stroked her finger along my wings and I let out a sigh.

She moved closer to sit on my lap. We kissed passionately.

She opened her mouth and our tongues united.

I went hard against her as she let out a sigh with pleasure.

It would only take one move and I'll be inside of her.

I lifted her up from the tub and carried her to the bed. I put her down gently.

And I admired every inch of her naked body.

I kissed her lips and went down to her breasts. She sighed with pleasure. I stopped on her stomach.

"I love you" I whispered to her stomach. To the baby inside of her. Our future son and high lord.

I lifted my head and looked into my mates eyes and kissed her.

I teased her opening and she moved to get me inside of her. To go faster.

I obliged. And our bodies united as one.

I moved slowly inside of her. She moved her hips. Wanting me to go faster.

**_You're_ _mine_**

As she said those words I went faster.

She sighed loudly.

I growled with pleasure.

Release finally got to both of us after a while.

The only sound we could hear were the sound of our breaths and heartbeats as we pulled apart.

	5. Chapter5

Chapter 5

Feyre POV

I had fallen asleep again after me and Rhys had made love.

Rhys never left my side.

I woke up when my stomach growled.

"What do you want for breakfast? Or should I say lunch?" Rhys asked.

I was surprised that I had slept until noon. I must've been more tired than I thought.

Rhys noticed my surprised look when he said lunch.

"Yes, it's noon, darling, but you can sleep for as long as you want. I don't mind" he said and smiled.

I smiled back at him.

"We can't have me sleep all day, you know"

He chuckled.

"No we can't have that" he said and gave me a kiss.

My stomach growled again. Gods I was hungry.

"Let's go down and get something to eat, darling" Rhys said.

We went down the stairs, but I stopped just outside the kitchen.

"What if we went out to eat instead? Since it's already lunch time" I suggested.

"Sure if that's what you want, dear" he said. He would probably agree to anything I suggested right now. As long as it wasn't too dangerous.

We went to a nice little cafe in Velaris that had a nice view of the rainbow. The colours were beautiful and bright.

"I could look at this view forever" I said.

"So could I" Rhys said.

I turned to look at him.

"You aren't looking at the view"

"Yes I am it's the most beautiful view I've ever seen" he said. I felt my cheeks heating.

"You're such a hopeless romantic" I teased.

We both chuckled when our food finally arrived.

I quickly digged in. I was so hungry.

"The food is good" I said. Tho to be fair I was so hungry I could eat just about anything.

"I'm glad you like it. You can have more if you want, darling"

"No I'm good so far, Rhys. I'm not gonna starve"

"How about we take a walk around Velaris just the two of us?" He suggested.

"I would very much like that" I said.

When we were done eating we walked through the rainbow while holding hands.

We went into a few painting shops and I bought new painting supplies.

I wanted to show Rhys the baby shop that me and Mor had been in yesterday so I did.

When we got into the shop Rhys took a look around.

He looked at the little baby outfits and other stuff you could get for babies like bottles or chairs.

Rhys POV

As I looked through this store I almost cried thinking that I had been granted this gift. This wonderful gift.

A child carried by the woman that I loved beyond anything.

I was going to protect both of them with my life.

I looked back at Feyre tears in my eyes.

She moved closer to me and we kissed deeply.

Tears ran freely down my cheeks. Tears of happiness and of love.

"We could come back at another time. We still got around eight months until the baby comes" she said. Her eyes shining.

"Yes we got plenty of time" I said and lifted her up.

"Maybe we should head back home? It's getting late" Feyre suggested.

"Yes let's head home"

We walked home. Enjoying the view of the sunset over the rainbow and the Sidra.

It was like a dream. A perfect, beautiful dream. Holding hands with my mate while she was carrying our child.

I sometimes wonder what I have done to deserve this.

**_What are you thinking about, Rhys?_**

**_Nothing much, darling._**

**_You can tell me, if you want. _**

**_I'm just thinking about what I did to deserve you and this baby._**

**_Are you kidding!...Rhys you're the most selfless, loving, beautiful..._**

**_Go on... Beautiful...and?_**

She rolled her eyes and gave me an expression that said she was trying to be serious.

**_I think I'll stop before you're ego grows any bigger._**

**_Come on I was joking, darling._**

**_Sure... my point is, Rhys of course you deserve this. You have been through so much and you deserve to be happy._**

She went closer and kissed me on the cheek.

Before she pulled away I grabbed her waist and gave her a deep kiss.

**_Thank you, Feyre. I love you._**

**_I love you too._**

	6. Chapter6

Chapter 6

Feyre POV

When Rhys and I got home to the town house I was really tired.

"I'm tired, Rhys. I'm going to bed"

"I'll join you, dear"

We went up the stairs and into our bedroom. I took off my clothes and changed into my night gown. I didn't bother with anything else.

I quickly fell asleep in Rhys' arms.

————————

When I woke up Rhys was gone.

**_Rhys? Where are you?_**

**_Good morning, Feyre darling_**

**_Good morning, Rhys. Where are you?_**

**_I'm at the Illyrian camps with Cassian. I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you awokened, darling_**

**_It's okay, Rhys. You're high lord duty's comes first_**

**_I have a different opinion about that. You know you're my first priority, Feyre_**

**_Yeah I know, but work is still important_**

**_Of course. I have to get going I'll see you later, love_**

**_Yes see you later. Love you_**

I went down stairs to get some breakfast.

After I was done eating, I went into my painting room.

I really needed to clean this place. There was paint, brushes and canvases everywhere, but I could do that later. First priority is painting.

I painted pictures of mountains and stars and the night court. And one of the bone carver. Our future son.

While I was finishing the painting of the bone carver, Rhys walked into the room.

I didn't notice him at first because I focused on the painting.

But then he was behind me. Taking his arms around my waist.

"Hello, Feyre darling. What have you been up to today?" Rhys asked.

"I've just been painting" I answered.

He looked at the painting of the bone carver. His eyes where shining as bright as the stars.

"It's beautiful... he's beautiful" he said. Remembering the memory I showed him.

He shoved my hair to the side and kissed me down my neck.

I turned to face him and we kissed without restraint.

I started to feel a little dizzy. My head was spinning.

I pulled away from Rhys. Trying to clear my head.

"What's wrong, Feyre!?" His voice sounded worried. I tried to focus on him, but I couldn't.

"I... feel... a little... dizzy" I answered.

The last thing I saw was Rhys trying to catch me.

Rhys POV

I was beyond worried.

I had taken Feyre to a healer as fast as I could. The healers was beside us in a split second, trying to get to Feyre. To help.

I growled at some of them if they got to close. Even though I knew I needed their help.

After I had calmed down a little I handed Feyre over to the healers.

I waited in what felt like forever. When finally Madja came out of the room they had put Feyre in.

"How is she?" I asked worriedly.

"She is fine" Madja answered.

I almost sighed with relief, but...

"And the baby?"

"The baby is okay too" she reassured me.

"Feyre passed out because she hadn't gotten enough nutrition and carrying a fae child can be quite tiresome, but as long as she gets the proper nutrition and sleep then she should be up and about in no time... oh and you can go in and see her now"

I rushed to Feyre's room.

She was sitting up in the bed.

I felt like I could finally relax when I saw that she was okay. That they both were okay.

"Hello, Rhys" she said and smiled at me.

I sat down on the bed.

"You gave me a heart attack" I said.

"Sorry. I should have eaten more today. I only had a small breakfast this morning" she said and I could see that she was sorry.

"Maybe I should stay with you from now on"

"No, Rhys you don't have to do that and you shouldn't. I can take care of my self. I was just too concentrated on painting. It won't happen again" she reassured me.

She looked straight into my eyes. I could see she meant it.

"Fine I won't, but if it happens again then I will be staying with you everyday" I pushed.

She sighed thinking about it.

"Okay. If it happens again" she agreed.

We smiled at each other. It was enough to put my mind at ease.

"Let's go home so you can get some food and rest" I said.

End of chapter 6, hope you liked it.


	7. Chapter7

Chapter 7

Feyre POV

It had been two months since I had fainted.

I made sure I had gotten the proper amount of food and rest and there hadn't been an incident since.

Rhys had been so worried, probably still was, but since I had kept to our agreement and had taken better care of myself, he kept to his as well.

I think he's slightly less worried about me getting enough food and rest.

However the further I got into the pregnancy the more overprotective he got, though I suppose I'd had to get used to it.

I was now three months pregnant and I was starting to show a little. I still couldn't believe that I was pregnant. That me and Rhys had gotten this wonderful gift.

I had decided that I wanted to go to the art gallery and prepare for an art lesson.

I got there pretty early so I started on some paintings, that I could show ones the kids got here.

I didn't realize how long I had been painting until the door opened and a girl with her mother stepped in.

I got up to greed them.

"Hello welcome" I said as my greeting.

"Yes, hello, thank you" the mother said.

"Have you been here before?" I asked, not recognizing them.

"No, this is our first time here" she answered.

"Well we're excited to have you. The other kids will be here shortly, in the meantime you can wait over there" I said and pointed towards a couch.

"Yes, we will wait over there. Thank you" the mother said and walked towards the couch.

After five minutes the other kids started to arrive.

I decided that we could start the lesson.

"Okay, kids are you ready to start the lesson?" I asked.

The kids all yelled an exiting _yes._

I smiled at them. In only six months I was going to be a mother as well.

————————

After the lesson I went over to the girl and her mother that had arrived first.

"How was the lesson?" I asked the girl.

"It was fun!" She said. A big smile on her face.

I smiled back at her.

"That's good. So you'll be coming back next time?"

"Can we mom?" The girl asked her mother.

"Of course, sweetheart" she answered.

We were about to say goodbye, when Rhys walked through the door.

"Hello, Feyre darling. I missed you" he said and kissed me on the cheek.

"Hi, Rhys. Missed you too".

The mother flinched when she heard mine and Rhys' names.

She quickly bowed her head.

"No, please there's no need to do that" I said.

She slowly looked up.

"Please forgive me. I didn't mean to be so straight forward with you. If I had known you were high lady I'd had..." I stopped her.

"You don't need to be formal with us" Rhys said.

That seemed to make her relax a bit more.

"We'll be going then, come sweetie" the mother said.

"See you next time" the girl said.

"Yes, see you next time" I replied.

After they had left I couldn't stop smiling.

Rhys POV

Feyre seemed so happy about this gallery, her art lessons and especially the kids that she taught.

She was starting to show a little and I couldn't help but look at her stomach every time I saw her. In around six months I was going to be a father and she was going to be the most beautiful mother.

She sensed my excitement through our bond.

"What?" She asked still smiling.

"Just you and the baby" I answered as I smiled back at her.

She took my hands, placing them on her stomach and kissed me lightly on the mouth.

**_Let's go home, Rhys_**

**_Yes let's go home, darling_**

And so we went home to the town house.

The end of chapter 7, hope you liked it. Please review and tell me what you think.
